Advantages of Flash
Compatibility
Unlike DHTML or Java Script,
Flash works on both Netscape and Internet Explorer. In fact
97.4% of internet users can view Flash.
Compact
A website with complex flash
can use up to 10 times less bandwidth than a site with animated
gifs, Java and sounds.
New Technology
Flash has been around for a
couple of years, but is just now starting to become mainstream.
This means you can get ahead of competition and stake your
claim before they catch up. Flash is helping to break the
multimedia barrier on the web.
Interactive
With Flash we are no longer
constrained by the prior limitations of the web. We can now
create menu and topigation systems that are more user friendly
than ever before.
No Color Limitation
htm only websites are limited
to 256 color palette. Anything outside of this spectrum delivers
grainy or fuzzy images. Flash however, allows us to use 16.7
million colors that the human eye can decipher. This enables
us to design using the best color for the project rather that
htm's closest match.
Full Audio
Nothing brings a project together
like sound. Flash allows us to assign musical representations
to an entire animation or a specific event. This creates a
more engaging and entertaining experience. Flash also supports
MP3 sound compression, eliminating the worry of overwhelming
file size.
Interconnectivity with HTML
Animated banners, buttons and
menu systems created in flash can be incorporated into your
existing website. Flash can fully interact with your website,
replacing bulky animated gifs and Java script mouseovers.
Flexibility
Flash has several added features
besides its excellent animations and interactive functions.
Flash can also easily communicate with every programming language
used to control the internet. This means site can be dynamically
created and updated. |
